Profesor Jeremy Black MBE has spoken to us before and he was a huge success, a very well informed and experienced speaker, we have the honour of him coming to talk to us on 22nd September 2023.
His subject is The World of James Bond, which I know will be of great interest to many of you.
Jeremy Black offers a historian’s interpretation from the perspective of the late 2010s, assessing James Bond in terms of the greatly changing world order of the Bond years—a lifetime that stretches from 1953, when the first novel appeared, to the present.
Jeremy Black studied at Queens College Cambridge, St Johns Oxford before joining University of Durham as a lecturer where he got hid PHD and later became a professor
He went on to become Professor of History at the University of Exeter and is senior Fellow of History at the University of Exeter and is a senior Fellow at The Center for the study of America and the West at the Foreign Policy Institute In Philadelphia USA
He is the author of over 180 books , principally but not exclusively on 18th century British Politics and international relations and has been described by one commentator as “the most prolific historical scholar of our age”
